Bawarrior Report post Posted April 2, 2023 10 oz leather, briar brown stain, and briar brown gel antique for leaves. Funny that my photo was turned a 90, but it is the same holster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert03241 Report post Posted April 2, 2023 I really like the Holster but if I may? I hate rivets, They can scratch the gun and they can pop out. Sewing the belt loop is much better IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bawarrior Report post Posted April 2, 2023 Bert good point, they possible could scratch but never pop out. thanks. I would welcome other peoples thoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted April 2, 2023 Agree on not wanting the rivets to make any contact with the gun. A lining might help there. Having the flat side as you do facing the gun helps, but not 100%. I do knife sheaths like this and it seems to work ok there, but most knives are not as expensive. Sometimes I just stitch. Would not expect a rivet of that nature to ever pop out when set well, and they look set well. I really like the way the leaves fade into the back without a border. Cool holster!

Littlef Report post Posted April 2, 2023 Love it! I want to attempt a leaf carving on a future holster. (when I build up some skills, ...and my nerve to do it.) May I ask what backgrounder you used? was that a round backgrounder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fredk Report post Posted April 3, 2023 Nice tooling on the holster. I agree, its a nice effect with those leaves coming right out of the main back leather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck123wapati Report post Posted April 3, 2023 awesome work as always friend, if you do use rivets cover them with some very thin leather or line the holster. i cut out light leather with a 1" punch then glue them over the rivet or snap and fold under the edges so the set will hold it. i wouldn't use double caps but those you used should work fine.

Chuck Thanks for your input. I do agree because my last few holster were made a different way. Just wasn't thinking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doubleh Report post Posted April 4, 2023 Nice work. Another "no" to rivets on holsters and knife sheaths. I line any holster I make but it's all stitched. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
